IraqWar Debate Students debated the central question:
"Should the US have sent troops to Iraq in 2003 to remove Saddam Hussein from power?"
Each side had about a week to prepare their arguments. Each side had an opening statement, a closing statement, arguers that supported their side, and a counter-arguer whose job it was to tear down the other side's arguments. Mrs. Thoen's class served as the judges.
